Borat was hilarious the first couple of times but I watched it a couple of months back again and it certainly lost it's sheen for me whereas Withnail gets better each time I watch it (which is well into double figures now).

And if Withnail isn't your favourite comedy, and Borat isn't... what is? Anchorman isn't as funny as Borat for a start. |

Withnail & I works because it's subtle. It's not full of belly laughs. It's nuanced and utterly believable because of it's realism and lack of heightened realism. I love it anyhow!

All I know is that I've watched Monty Python show and films many, many times and they were always funny (some less some more, of course). What's even better, there's always some detail I haven't noticed the first time that makes them even funnier.

I think film and music are totally different, can't compare the two. If I watch a film like the Usual Suspects, it was a good film, no question.. but do I want to repeatedly watch it? No. I know the twist.
Same thing with funny films for me, you can watch a film so much it starts to become unfunny.. Just me though. Repeated viewings aren't for me. |
